E-Waste Solutions

Clean up: Electronics manufacturers must stop using hazardous materials. In many cases, safer alternatives currently exist.

Take back: The taxpayer should not bear the cost of recycling old electrical goods. Manufacturers should take full life cycle responsibility for their products and, once they reach the end of their useful life, take their goods back for re-use, safe recycling or disposal.

What you can do:

• Support companies that make clean products.
  
• Before buying, think twice about whether you really need a new device.
• Return your equipment to the manufacturer when you have finished with it.
